UBC has embarked on an initiative to consolidate and integrate its various communication and collaboration systems towards a unified user experience, with the intent for ubiquitous access and support a wide variety of use cases supporting flexible/distributed education, research collaboration, student engagement and administrative needs. Technologies in scope include VOIP telephony, video conferencing, web conferencing, Skype for Business (Lync). This session will include a brief introduction to the solution, explain why it is such a unique solution, and offer a demonstration. It will explore implementation in the UBC environment, the impact is has had, and the potential for wider roll-out to other higher education institutions in a shared service format through BCNET.
